1.-TWO Dublin merchants who were in
Paris recently, are quoted as having
said that Blaine had written he would
return to Dublin this fall and accept
the post of honor at banquet to be

Mayor The report is discredited, how

avowed that his intention since arriv-

Reyiera within few weeks. Ifhe con

A Magnificent cift.

The announcement which the PRESS
makes this morning of the intention of Mr..
James p. Baxter to give to the Portland In
stitute and Public Library and the Maine
Historical Society magnificent building on
one Of the most eligible sites in the city, and
spacious and valuable lot to the Portland
Society of Art, win prove an exceedingly
pleasant surprise to our citizens. The pic
ture in our supplement gives good idea of
the FACADE of the building, while from the
printed description illustrated by diagrams
the details Of the edifce may be gathered.
1t is superfluons to say that the gift is mag
nihcent one. The character and location of
the lot and the fine proportions and rich and
substantial style Of the building that is TO
be placed upon it attest that. 100000 will
not more than cover its money value. The
property is to be given with no more oner-
ous condition than that the Societies con-
tinue to use it for the purposes for which it
is given, which are Identical with the pur-
poses for which the Societies were founded.
The building has been designed not merely
to answer the needs Of the present, but Of
the future as well, and there is ample room
within its walls to accommodate the library
for great many years to come.
TIE liberality and public spirit that have
prompted this gift it is quite unnecessary to
expatiateup upon or to commend. They are
qualities not so common as to pass unnoticed
and they sufficiently commend themselves.
Mr.. Baxter has wisely chosen to make thi,
gift while he is still in the vigor of manhood
with the prospect before him of many year.
of life in which he can watch over it and as
sist by his counsel and advice in carrying
out the benefcent purposes which it is de-
signed to subserve.

and then climbing rope 80 feet long, from

merely piece OF chiyalry or courtesy ON the
part of Herr Stemple; the girls were distinctly
the best of pupils. Four of each sex climbed
the rope, and the girls went more lightly,
rapidly and easily than the boys; while In

were debarred from attempting the next
higher leap. 1t came ct last to be girls only in
the running. The juveniles programme end
ed with tug of war;" twelve girls against
twelve boys, in which the latter were igno-
miniously defeated. 1t is very amusing to
see that the strength and gymnastic ability
OF girls and boys is so equal. 1t shows that
probably the great discrepancy that there Is
In the physical capacities of men and women
depends more than we guess upon differences
in clothing and habits.
The ladies' class had in it several ladies
whose names and whose families would be
well known, but suppose should not men
ti0n these: so Twill only say that the three
observation-disclosures, were generally admired,
even by practiced amateur gymnasts, for the
skill and elegance with which they perform
ed their various parts as leaders. The ladies
wear costume consisting of blue flannel
knickerbockers, blue flannel tunic reaching
to the knee, put into a cardinal yoke at the
neck and belted with cardingl sash; and
white canvas shoes without any heels. They
went through an elaborate musical drill, in
Guiding trotting in an apparently inextrica-
Die but really ordinary maze, and dumbbell
exercises, and then picked few performed
eyolutions on certain swinging rings, and the
ladies' work concluded with preliminary
practice for foil-fencing as a mass exercise.
IL is, should think, absolutely the first time
that company of private ladies of good So
cial position have ever consented to give a
semi-public display in gymnasti; dress.
The facts appear to be that the English
girls are growing taller, stronger, and more
finely developed crertures every year while
the young Englishmen of the future are losing
in stature, whatever may be their gains in
strength and physique The Illustrations of

Clerical Poverty.

Speaking last night at the Hotel Metropole,
at the anniversary dinner of st. Johns
Foundation School, Leatherhead, an institu-
tion for the free education and maintenance
of the sons of poor clergymen of the Church
of England, Archdeacon Farrar said he
thought Englishmen, as body, very strange
ly ungenerous, illiberal, and callous to the
sufferings of the clergy. [Cries of mo, no."
and "hear, hear."] He had no hesitation in
saying that many bodies of Nonconformists
were more generous to their ministers than
English Churchmen. Hundreds and thou
sands of English laymen did not contribute
single sixpence towards their own spiritual
maintenance. There were 1000 curates
whose average income was e140 year, and
1882, or two-thirds of the livings OF England,
whose average income was less thana3O0. 1t
was a fact that there were clergymen whose
families were literally starving, and he
therefore warmly appealed for support to the

EX-TREAsuRER JoRDAN's SILVER sPECULA-
TIoN.
[Boston, Transcript
Ex-Treasurer Jordan's silver speculation
scheme has got itself fairly on its feet the
bullion certificates having been listed yester-
day on the New York stock exchange as
mining shares" They are to be deposited
with the Mercantile Trust Company and reg
istered with the Western National Rank.
Treasurer Jordan expects that the price of
silver will hereafter be made in New York
instead of in London, and that the price will,
on the whole, be kept up to some extent by
this speculation. There is no doubt specula-
tion has general tendency to make market
and keep up prices, But it is idle to sup
pose that the scheme will benefit anybody
except the brokers who have matters so
fixed as to make money out of the dealings.
